Micah 7

1 The Church, complaining of her small number, 3 and the general corruption, 5 putteth her confidence not in man, but in God. 8 She triumpheth over her enemies. 14 God comforteth her by promises, 16 by confusion of the enemies, 18 and by his mercies.

 7:1 Woe 480 is me! For I am 1961 Like the fruit 7019c pickers 625, like the grape 1210 gatherers 5955. There 369 is not a cluster 811 of grapes to eat 398, [Or] a first-ripe 1063 fig 1063 [which] I crave 183.

 7:2 The godly 2623 person 2623 has perished 6 from the land 776, And there 369 is no 369 upright 3477 [person] among men 120. All 3605 of them lie 693 in wait 693 for bloodshed 1818; Each 376 of them hunts 6679 the other 251 with a net 2764b.

 7:3 Concerning 5921 evil 7451b, both hands 3709 do 3190 it well 3190. The prince 8269 asks 7592, also the judge 8199, for a bribe 7966, And a great 1419 man 1419 speaks 1696 the desire 1942 of his soul 5315; So they weave 5686 it together 5686.

 7:4 The best 2896a of them is like a briar 2312, The most upright 3477 like a thorn 4534 hedge 4534. The day 3117 when you post your watchmen 6822, Your punishment 6486 will come 935. Then 6258 their confusion 3998 will occur 1961.

 7:5 Do not trust 982 in a neighbor 7453; Do not have 982 confidence 982 in a friend 7453. From her who lies 7901 in your bosom 2436 Guard 8104 your lips 6310.

 7:6 For son 1121 treats 5034a father 1 contemptuously 5034a, Daughter 1323 rises 6965 up against her mother 517, Daughter-in-law 3618 against her mother-in-law 2545; A man’s 376 enemies 340 are the men 376 of his own household 1004.

 7:7 ¶ But as for me, I will watch 6822 expectantly 6822 for the LORD 3068; I will wait 3176 for the God 430 of my salvation 3468. My God 430 will hear 8085 me.

 7:8 Do not rejoice 8055 over me, O my enemy 340. Though 3588 I fall 5307 I will rise 6965; Though 3588 I dwell 3427 in darkness 2822, the LORD 3068 is a light 216 for me.

 7:9 ¶ I will bear 5375 the indignation 2197 of the LORD 3068 Because 3588 I have sinned 2398 against Him, Until 5704 834 He pleads 7378 my case 7379 and executes 6213a justice 4941 for me. He will bring 3318 me out to the light 216, [And] I will see 7200 His righteousness 6666.

 7:10 Then my enemy 340 will see 7200, And shame 955 will cover 3680 her who said 559 to me, “Where 335 is the LORD 3068 your God 430?” My eyes 5869 will look 7200 on her; At that time 6258 she will be trampled 4823 down 4823 Like mire 2916 of the streets 2351.

 7:11 [It will be] a day 3117 for building 1129 your walls 1447. On that day 3117 will your boundary 2706 be extended 7368.

 7:12 It [will be] a day 3117 when they will come 935 to you From Assyria 804b and the cities 5892b of Egypt 4693, From Egypt 4693 even to the Euphrates 5104, Even from sea 3220 to sea 3220 and mountain 2022 to mountain 2022.

 7:13 And the earth 776 will become 1961 desolate 8077 because 5921 of her inhabitants 3427, On account 4480 of the fruit 6529 of their deeds 4611.

 7:14 ¶ Shepherd 7462a Your people 5971a with Your scepter 7626, The flock 6629 of Your possession 5159 Which dwells 7931 by itself 910 in the woodland 3293a, In the midst 8432 of a fruitful 3759 field 3759. Let them feed 7462a in Bashan 1316 and Gilead 1568 As in the days 3117 of old 5769.

 7:15 “As in the days 3117 when you came 3318 out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, I will show 7200 you miracles 6381.”

 7:16 Nations 1471 will see 7200 and be ashamed 954 Of all 3605 their might 1369. They will put 7760 [their] hand 3027 on [their] mouth 6310, Their ears 241 will be deaf 2790b.

 7:17 They will lick 3897 the dust 6083 like a serpent 5175, Like reptiles 2119a of the earth 776. They will come 7264 trembling 7264 out of their fortresses 4526; To the LORD 3068 our God 430 they will come 6342 in dread 6342 And they will be afraid 3372a before 4480 You.

 7:18 Who 4310 is a God 410 like 3644 You, who pardons 5375 iniquity 5771 And passes 5674a over 5921 the rebellious 6588 act 6588 of the remnant 7611 of His possession 5159? He does not retain 2388 His anger 639 forever 5703, Because 3588 He delights 2654a in unchanging 2617a love 2617a.

 7:19 He will again 7725 have 7355 compassion 7355 on us; He will tread 3533 our iniquities 5771 under 3533 foot 3533. Yes, You will cast 7993 all 3605 their sins 2403b Into the depths 4688 of the sea 3220.

 7:20 You will give 5414 truth 571 to Jacob 3290 [And] unchanging 2617a love 2617a to Abraham 85, Which 834 You swore 7650 to our forefathers 1 From the days 3117 of old 6924a.
